The next day, Xu Ran found a reason and directly arranged Qu Lingyu, a woman from the Qu family, to a position in the household department, although the position was not high, but he could give full play to Qu Lingyu's talent.

It's really a bit condescending to stay in the Ministry of Rites.

Qu Lingyu's eyes were full of excitement, gratitude, and gladly accepted.

The current court is very lively every day, the battle between the two rows of people is becoming more and more intense, and the merchant faction has basically begun to fight back.

In fact, Xu Ran really wanted to kill Prime Minister Shang directly, but he couldn't get back if he killed the military power.

It's not necessary to be in a hurry, and it's not necessarily true that the merchant is holding the talisman directly.

Xu Ran got down to the court with a lot of anger, walked to his palace, walked to the palace gate, and saw Shang Zhinan standing at the palace gate, Xu Ran raised his eyebrows, "Feng Hou is coming." ”

"Your Majesty is healthy, Zhinan heard that His Majesty was worried about entering the sun, so he made some lotus seed soup for His Majesty, and the lotus seed soup has the effect of purifying the heart and smoothing the qi." Shang Zhinan saluted, and said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Ran nodded, looked at Shang Zhinan's far-fetched smile and said flatly: "Let's talk about it in the hall first." ”

If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, there must be something going on.

Shang Zhinan walked into the hall, opened the food box, and put the lotus seed soup in front of Xu Ran, Xu Ran picked up the lotus seed soup, stirred the lotus seed soup with a spoon, looked at Shang Zhinan and asked, "What is the matter with Feng Hou?" ”

Shang Zhinan knelt on the ground and said, "Zhinan heard that his mother was seriously ill at home, and he really wanted to go back and have a look, and forget His Majesty's permission." ”

Xu Ran stared at Shang Zhinan in surprise, this girl is a pit, is it that he didn't find him, he felt that nothing had happened, and the matter of Queen Feng secretly handing things out of the palace was big or small.

Xu Ran sighed, "Queen Feng, I know your filial piety, but this is not in line with etiquette, no Queen Feng can return to her family to visit relatives in the past dynasties, you wait, Prime Minister Shang Ji has his own natural appearance, everything will be fine." ”

Shang Zhinan's eyes were full of disappointment, he thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Zhinan knows that this is not in line with etiquette, but Zhinan is very worried about his mother at home, Zhinan can't sleep at night and can't eat." ”

Xu Ran: She is so touched by such a filial son.

Xu Ran folded his hands on his legs and looked at Shang Zhinan, "The Queen of the Phoenix understands filial piety, but the etiquette cannot be overcome. ”

Shang Zhinan sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, can't you really let Zhinan go back and have a look?" ”

"Queen Feng, you can wait for news in the harem." Xu Ran looked at Shang Zhinan lightly.

Shang Zhinan was very helpless, looking at Xu Ran's eyes as if he was looking at a disobedient and unreasonable woman.

Xu Ran, who was watching, had a nameless fire in his heart.

Shang Zhinan returned to his palace, and a voice came from his head, "I said no, the ancient people adhered to feudal etiquette, how could they let you go back." ”

Shang Zhinan pursed his lips, he didn't go over to try it, as long as he could, anyway, he didn't have hope for the Raiders now.

"Let's do what I told you earlier." The system voice was coaxing.

A hint of fierceness flashed in Shang Zhinan's eyes, "Originally, it was not a last resort, I didn't want to do this, she forced me, since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Xu Ran sat in front of the imperial case, frowning, it was impossible for Shang Zhinan not to know his medicine, in her place, since she didn't give it back to her, where did she get the confidence to let him go back to the family.

I don't know that Prime Minister Shang's existence is like a fish in her throat here.

I don't just think that if everyone doesn't mention it, this incident should not have happened.

Is it possible or is there another bargaining chip?

Thinking of this, Xu Ran summoned the secret guard placed in the Shangzhi South Palace and asked, "Did Queen Feng make any other moves during this time?" ”

"Back to the master, no." The Dark Guard said firmly.

"Just stay in the palace honestly, are the people from the merchant delivering the news to Shang Zhinan?" Xu Ran asked again uneasily.

The Dark Guard shook his head, "No, it's calm. ”

Xu Ran put his hand on the table, pinched the bridge of his nose and rubbed it, calming a little too much.

I don't know what Shang Zhinan is going to do next.

Xu Ran also instructed the secret guards to be optimistic about Shang Zhinan and cheer up, now is a critical period, and nothing can go wrong.

The Dark Guard said he understood.

Two additional manpower were also dispatched, and there were not many secret guards, some of them were placed in the Shang Prime Minister's Mansion, and some of them were monitored by Shang Zhinan.

Although Xu Ran doesn't have many secret guards available now.

But this family had to guard against it.

At night, Xu Ran was sitting on the bed practicing, and Female Official Su knocked on the door of the palace, her voice soft but eager, "Your Majesty, Nanxi Palace is out of water." ”

Xu Ran's heart sank suddenly, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in and change my clothes." ”

Female Officer Su pushed the door in, Xu Ran had already put on her underwear, and Female Officer Su hurriedly took out a set of black wide-sleeved robes with gold trim from Mu Shi and put them on for Xu Ran, and said while wearing them: "Your Majesty, the palace people have gone to save it." ”

Xu Ran glanced at Female Official Su, did not speak, quickly put on her clothes and opened the door and walked towards Nanxi Palace, Female Official Su followed behind Xu Ran in fear.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through Xu Ran's mind, and he walked quickly to Nanxi Palace, and Female Officer Su and his party ran behind them out of breath.

Her Majesty the Empress is walking too fast.

When I arrived at the Nanxi Palace where Shang Zhinan lived, the surging fire reflected half of the sky, the tears of the billowing smoke flowed, the fire burned and crackled, the sound of the house crackling and collapsing, the sound of the palace people crying for help in the burning palace, the wheezing sound of the palace people fighting the fire splashing water together, and the sound of rescuing things and carrying items, which made Xu Ran only feel that his head was buzzing.

I don't know how long it took, the fire had been extinguished, and the corpses of the palace people were lifted out of it, some of them had already been burned, and for a while all kinds of smells were mixed together, which was very pungent.

The ground was full of corpses, and the palace people were sweating profusely in the palace searching for Shang Zhinan, and Queen Feng was the most noble person in this palace, and everyone was eagerly looking for it.

Xu Ran looked at the main hall, the original Biwa Zhu Yong had become a piece of broken ruins, Xu Ran folded his hands together, and asked the palace people in charge, "Have you found the Queen Feng?" ”

The palace man replied in fear: "Back to Your Majesty, no, Rong Slave is searching. ”

Xu Ran hummed and didn't speak again, thinking about all kinds of possibilities in his heart.

He asked in his heart: "2313, is Shang Zhinan dead?" ”

"No, I don't feel his system disengaged." 2313 replied.

Xu Ran sighed, faintly guessed in his heart which one Shang Zhinan was playing, shielded the surrounding people, walked to a corner, took out a whistle and blew it, and two secret guards came to Xu Ran, kneeling on one knee, "Master, please command." ”

Xu Ran said in a deep voice: "Immediately send more people to monitor the prime minister's mansion, if there is a person who is suspected of being the queen of the phoenix, take it immediately, if you don't comply, you will be killed." ”

The two secret guards looked at each other in horror when they heard this, didn't dare to ask more, and disappeared in front of Xu Ran.
